overbridges
Roads spanning roads
Overbridges are bridges that carry a road or railway over another route or obstacle.
The term emphasizes crossing above rather than below: The new overbridges allow pedestrians to cross the highway safely.
More common in British and Commonwealth English than American, where overpass is preferred.
